A private entry, the 90G Mulsanne S had wafted its way through 165,775 miles and was showing plenty of signs of its 23 years, such as ferrous fenders and filler in the doors. But someone wanted it because, though reserved at £4,950, it went on to sell for £5,150.

  Flying Finns in action at Race Retro 16 Jan 2017 (News)
  Vatanen won the British Championship in 1976 and by 1977 was a regular competitor in the World Rally Championship at the wheel of a Ford Escort RS1800. Signed to the Rothmans Ford team in 1979, Vatanen and new co-driver David Richards took their first WRC win at the 1980 Acropolis. After winning the WRC drivers title in 1981, Vatanen joined Peugeot at the wheel of a 205 T16, and was on course to win the 1985 World Championship until a near-fatal accident in Argentina ended his season and nearly his life.  The Finn recovered and returned to the sport winning four Paris-Dakar Rallies in 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991, as well as smashing the record for the Pikes Peak Hill climb in a 600bhp Peugeot 405 T16 in 1988. Vatanen said, ‘I am very much looking forward to joining Race Retro and seeing all the rally fans over the weekend.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day 18 14 Jun 2013 (News)
  In such a spot it was a real pleasure to watch the likes of Phil Garret and Kieron Brown drifting their Chevy, Gerry Crown trying to go slowly to match the now much reduced speed of our test section, and the Citroen DS, which been suffering over-heating problems, tackling the smooth track in "Sahara"-style raised suspension - the front is on maximum height adjustment and refuses to adjust downwards. The two Holdens sounded glorious, and drowned out the cuckoo nuisance, and car 38 the Ford V8 of Mike Reeves and Michelle Jana Chan swept through the wood at an even, steady V8 growl - recent oil-pump problems presumably cured. Looking very slow was car 15, the Ford Special - it has a worn rocker-shaft, but there are plans to change it overnight.
